ופרש"י להודיע שמכפר
לו ע"י עגל זה על
מעשה העגל שעשה
On the eighth day of
the dedication of
the Mishkon, Aaron
brought, as an
offering, a calf to
atone for, in the
words of Rashi, “the
calf which he made”.
The question is,
already in the seven
days, before this
final special eighth
day, a bull was
brought as an
atonement for the
golden calf (shmos
29:1)? מהרי"ל דיסקין
answers that the
offerings during the
seven days were the
atonement offered by
the congregation as
a cleansing process
for the Kohanim and
the mizbeach. Here,
however, represented
the personal
offering of Aaron to
atone for the fact
that he made the
calf, although he
was not held
responsible, he was
still the conduit
for it. That is the
meaning of Rashi,
the calf he made,
not the sin of the
calf.

Each Kohain, upon
his induction to
serve in the Bais
HaMikdosh, would
bring a מנחת חינוך,
a mincha offering of
installation. The
very same korbon was
brought each day by
the Kohain Gadol,
although with
another name מנחת
חביתים. The שפת אמת
suggests that,
although there is a
question in the
Gemora, as to
whether the Kohanim
are servants of the
people or of HaShem,
the Kohain Gadol is
likened to a מלאך,
an angel, and
certainly a servant
of HaShem, and
thereby, renews the
Kedusha each day.
Also the Gemora in
Krisus points out,
in a miracle, the
drops of anointing
oil remained on the
beard of Aaron and
continued for
generations to
enlighten the Kohain
Gadol with renewed
kedusha each day.
Therefore, he
required this korbon
each day of his
life.
